A growing reliance on market disciplines and incentives characterised health care reform strategies in many countries in the 1990s, yet the country which relies most heavily on private health care - the U.S.A. - is the most expensive in the world and still fails to deliver affordable health care to millions of its citizens. This apparent paradox is the starting point for Markets and Health Care: A Comparative Analysis.

Examines whether health systems become more efficient, less subject to cost escalation and more responsive to patient needs when there is competition among health care providers.

Fundamental change is taking place in the provision of welfare services in Britain. Government bureaucracies are losing their monopoly in such key areas as health, housing, community care and education. The Government agencies are increasingly acting as purchasers of services or as umbrellas for decentralised units. The command economy is being replaced by the quasi-market economy. This highly topical book assesses whether quasi-markets can deliver efficient and equitable public services and whether they represent a permanent break with the State's traditional role of welfare provider.

There have been two major attempts to introduce market mechanisms into England's National Health Service: the 'internal market' reform project of the 1990s, and the 'quasi-market' of the 2000s. Despite their similarities, the former attempt was on balance unsuccessful while the latter succeeded. This article examines and compares the outcomes of the two periods, analysing the reasons for their relative successes and failures. It goes on to highlight options for future reforms that would build on those achievements.

Sweeping changes have taken place in many parts of the world in the provision and organisation of health care, welfare and other 'public' services. The UK's National Health Service (NHS) has been a prime example of this. This multi-disciplinary collection of essays reviews recent evidence from a major research programme, commissioned by the Economic and Social Research Council (ERSC), into the evolution and impact of contracting in the NHS. Each chapter examines a particular aspect of health and social care,including competition between hospitals and the effects of GP fundholding, and discusses the important theoretical implication of experience in the NHS quasi-market. It will be essential reading for anyone interested in the contemporary debate surrounding the issues.

It is a natural human tendency to want the best of everything. The welfare state has improved the quality of life for many people by granting them a basic guaranteed income, access to good health care and affordable housing. The well-being of people in the Western world has been successfully wrestled from the clutches of unfettered market forces. In recent times, though, policymakers and public managers have been eager to make more use of the potential of markets. Supposedly, competition weeds out the inefficient and keeps people alert. This is why there have been attempts to combine elements of market, state and/ or private non-profit provision in systems of quasi-market governance. Research over the past years has greatly advanced our knowledge of the experimental constructs of quasi-markets. However, it has also shown how little we still know about their inner dynamics. The source of much confusion is the habit of looking at these new systems through the lens of old ones. This book offers a fresh approach, drawing upon both original research and existing evidence to show how the different elements of the quasi-market influence each other. It focuses specifically on the crucial introduction phase of quasi-markets, a phase which can have fundamental and lasting effects on the system’s future performance. The book concludes with an assessment of conditions that must be met for quasi-market governance to be effective. Quasi-Market Governance will be of interest to scholars and professionals as well as students in the fields of economics and politics.
